USUALLY BUILT IN close proximity to a bustling town or village and often with room to expand to the rear, there are many pros to buying a terraced home in Ireland today.
Energy savings, due to less heat loss, plus the greater sense of community, are just two reasons why a terraced house becomes a very appealing option for today’s buyer.
This week, we’ve rounded up four homes that fit the bill perfectly, but that don’t hold back on space. Surrounding Dublin city, and close to vibrant neighbourhoods, read on to see what’s on the market right now…
If plenty of natural light and being close to the sea is important to you, then you’ll probably add 64 Ashbrook to your viewing list. This three-bed terrace sits on a quiet cul-de-sac and benefits from a south-facing back garden that drenches the interior with brightness. Spread over 936 sq ft, the entrance hall leads to the living room on the right, a downstairs toilet and an open plan kitchen/dining room to the back. Upstairs, there are two double bedrooms, a single room and a family bathroom.
A short walk will bring you to Clontarf Road, and views of Dublin Bay. Plenty of amenities stand nearby for the sports enthusiast, including Clontarf rugby and cricket clubs and a tennis club. Primary and secondary schools are in no short supply and the DART, the M50 and bus routes, are all within walking distance, too.
Mews properties can often conjure up images of boxy rooms and dimly lit spaces, but this isn’t the case for 3 Seafield in the highly sought-after area of Monkstown in Co Dublin. Spread over an impressive 1,400 sq ft, this three-bed home has a nice back garden with a seating area for outdoor dining. The ground floor comprises a hallway that leads to a large living room to the front. Double doors connect to the open plan kitchen and social area, spanning the width of the house. On the first floor sit three bedrooms, one with an en-suite, and a family bathroom.
Close to Monkstown village and its many boutiques, shops, cafes and restaurants, the seafront is just minutes away. Blackrock and Dun Laoghaire are also within walking distance. The DART at both Salthill/Monkstown and Seapoint, as well as the number 7 bus route, means quick trips to the city centre are sorted. The added bonus is the Aircoach – sure to suit the frequent flyer.
Spread over a surprising 1,151 sq ft, The Ash is a three-bed home with three bathrooms, that would be perfect for a growing family. Inside, the fixtures and fittings are sleek and modern, which is always a great jumping off point when it comes to putting a personal stamp on a place. A mix of tiled, wood and carpeted floor throughout, means each room suits its purpose. The kitchen and dining area leads out to a private garden, too. With a high energy rating, the insulation isn’t an afterthought, so heat loss is kept to a minimum.
With their unmissable stone facades and red doorways, homes at Market Square in Newcastle are just minutes from Citywest, plenty of schools and shopping centres. Part of an exclusive development of only 27 two and three bedroom family homes, The Ash might just strike the right balance when it comes to proximity to the city, without the street noise.
A luxurious terraced home, 32 Villiers Road is a five-bed Edwardian home that mixes modernity and tradition seamlessly, with an extension to the back that leads to a 60ft manicured garden and seating area. What sets this terraced home apart is the off-street parking that’s accessed by roller shutter.
Inside, the elegant hallway leads to a contained lounge, a dining room and an open plan kitchen, dining and seating area. Upstairs, there are four generously-sized bedrooms while the top floor is dedicated to the master bedroom, with its en-suite bathroom and large walk-in wardrobe.
Flanked by Rathgar and Rathmines, Villiers Road’s location is hard to beat if a large family home close to everything the city has to offer, is on your wish list. Cowper LUAS stop is just a short walk away, while plenty of buses connect direct to the city centre. New home owners will also have their pick of secondary and primary schools on Dublin’s south side.
It’s on the market for €1,350,000.

Vote Yes to trust women and not needlessly endanger their lives
Very Sad , People have become so selfish
@Elvis Polkasalad: Yeah, dem selfish women having notions about their bodily autonomy…
* wimmin
@The Risen: Bodily autonomy is a joke. Nobody has bodily autonomy, someone gets cancer try saying i am exercising my bodily autonomy cancer please go! We are at war and men mainly have to defend the country. Try saying no my bodily autonomy means I dont have to defend the country, you would probably be shot. If a woman has sex she is partly giving up bodily autonomy i.e. if she gets pregnant, sorry then there are two bodies and two lives not one. While the woman’s life will be given priority in a life or death situation there are still two lives and it is plain wrong for a mother to snuff out the life of her child in any circumstances. Vote no to this vile law which Harris is proposing to replace the 8th. The 8th is our law and we should not give up our rights to set law in life or death situations.
@Jeremy DeChad: if someone had cancer, they can choose to have chemotherapy to get rid of it. Silly argument
@Jenni Harrison: yes but it may or may not cure you. Your “bodily autonomy” cannot be used to force the cancer to leave your body. Hope thay is helpful for you.
@Jeremy DeChad: I don’t think you comprehend the meaning!
Bodily autonomy means a person has control or choice over whom or what uses their body, for what, and for how long. It’s why you can’t be forced to donate blood, tissue, or organs. Even if you are dead.
The risen is using the phrase correctly. You are not
@Jenni Harrison: that is your opinion about what bodily autonomy means but of course you are wrong. Think of this when a woman is pregnant it is no longer just her and her body that actually exists. There is a second body occupying the same space and one which she has played a part in creating. The question that we need to consider is whether she has a right to destroy the other life / body. The 8th aims to say no. Keep the 8th vote no.
@Jeremy DeChad: Fair play to ya mansplaining bodily autonomy to the wimmins.
Cheer for the extra votes you just sent to the Yes side.
@Jeremy DeChad: There are many situations where a woman has not played a part. A fetus is not a body so there is no second body involved. Bodily autonomy means having control over what your body is used for, who or what uses it and what you decide or decide not to do with it. Even though I’m a yes voter I have tried to see this from the no perspective but still haven’t seen a single argument to change my mind. I am a man and I don’t feel like I have any right to tell a woman dealing with a crisis pregnancy what to do. If you vote no, and I respect your choice to do that, I can’t get my head around how aggressive you’re being. If this was a simple issue there’d be no argument. It’s not black or white and you can make an argument without being aggressive or disrespectful.
@Costello Brendan: haven’t a clue what you mean by “aggressive” I am not the one who referred to anyone as silly. Fetus means offspring another word for child and is a separate developing body that is dependant on its mother but should not be subject to being killed by her.
Questions ?
When does a life begin biologically ?
Who has the right to determine a cut off point for protection under the constitution?
Why did we swap one (catholic) orthodoxy for another (left wing) orthodoxy which is less tolerant of diverse opinions and constantly pursuing agenda ?
Why do we send people afflicted with trauma (sympathy expressed) to Dublin to run things like heath care (Brid Smith) foreign affairs (Colm OGorman) and housing( Boyd Barrett) ?
In the event of a ‘yes’ vote, the electorate will wake up on Sunday to a different society where the protection of the law in ending life is no longer an absolute. The Oireachtas report is exclusively biased towards those who see only one life in a pregnancy but also do not see the law is diminished in such a way that it now becomes something more than an entitlement vehicle but those who engage in criminal activity discovers the law no longer acts as a protector of life on this island. Other countries can only live uncomfortably with the dilution of law and order as a protector of life and the medical community that tries their best to save lives so advocacy groups can influence politicians to their section of the electorate.
The vote is a swindle in that the Government has done everything to avoid asking the electorate the 12 week/no reason question because it doesn’t trust the electorate to give them the answer they and the advocacy groups desperately seek.
@Gkell1: Lies and hyperbole.
M”"RDER, plain and simple, VOTE NO.
@Brian Rutledge: mqrder? Mzrder? I give up, what is it?
Is it just me or is Isobel a nailed on yes voter?
Obviously it’s not the final say, there is no final say. The constitution serves the people, not the other way around. It can and should be amended to reflect the will of the majority. As the set of people, “majority”, changes on every issue over time there may be a need to revisit any issue at a given point. Just common sense, isn’t it?
At the risk of looking silly, what was the law before 1983? I’m assuming it was the same except it was done through legislation rather than the constitution?
Same advice as every referendum.
Either way it’s not the final say on the matter as in 35 years time people who were ineligible to vote in this referendum will be given their chance to vote on the 8th Amendment.

Next 2 referenda on the 8th.
